Yoko, walking into Wedneday and Enids room: WEDNESDAY ADDAMS, WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS!

Wednesday: It's a lobster.

Yoko: I KNOW ITS A FUCKING LOBSTER, WHY WAS IT IN MY BED?

Wednesday: I don't know, perhaps it wandered in there while you were in class.

Yoko, seething: I'm going to kill you.

Wednesday: I'd like to see you try.

Touring as Wings during the 1970s, Linda was commonly booed when on-stage, with fans and critics disparaging what they saw as an inability to play her instrument and to sing in-tune. In a 1977 interview, she conceded, “my confidence took a beating when people started bitching about my musical ability. They said I’d forced Paul to make me a member of his group Wings, so I wouldn’t let him out of my sight.”  In a song she wrote and recorded shortly before her death from breast cancer in 1998, “The Light Comes from Within,” which one journalist labelled a “punk-hippy hybrid,” she finally responded to her critics. Her husband of almost thirty years wrote about the composition, “It was her answer to all the people who had ever put her down and that whole dumb male chauvinist attitude that to her had caused so much harm in our society.” It was Linda’s way of saying that she had never been seen or heard for who she was as a whole person by those who sought to dismiss her. All judgments had been literally and figuratively skin deep and premised upon her marriage to a Beatle.

Bianca, strolling up to Yoko and Enid

Yoko: This can’t be good.

Bianca: Your girlfriend is hanging out with Xavier a lot.

Enid, gripping the edge of her desk watching Xavier and Wednesday for dear life from the back of the class: Oh really?

Bianca, starts walking away: Yeah.

Enid: Did you come over here just to fucking—

Bianca, waving back to her own seat with a smile: Yeah!

Enid: I hate her.

Yoko: I could put fish in her lunch.

Enid: Not the time, Yoko.

Inspired by my newest platonic tumblr crush @caitlynscat show all of their posts love and affection.

yoko was just as interesting weird artistic problematic and toxic as the beatles you guys are just sexist and racist

[pauls1967moustache]

What do u think of beatles fans who hate yoko? Personally, I genuinely don't understand what yoko has done to stand out in the beatles lore as a particularly heinous character in the story. Had to unfollow several authors on Tumblr bc they usually gas john up and put yoko down, like they didn't come in a set.

I don’t think anyone’s required to like Yoko but I also agree that many people seem to hate her for behaviour that they’d happily overlook from any of the Beatles. The main problem here is no one is typically joining this fandom cause they’re interested in Yoko, ykwim. They’re here because they liked the Beatles and all the lore comes after that, so naturally everyone’s going to have a bias for the boys themselves. Yoko did do some insane shit to John (and is also within the Beatles narrative in an antagonistic position to Paul) so it’s natural that people who love John will find that off-putting, even if it’s not necessarily a fair way to view her, but they never really look at the crazy shit John did to her or anyone else in the same negative way. Plus, as with any fandom, there is racism and misogyny at work.

But there’s plenty of people in this fandom who do like Yoko, which is good! I think her position in the Beatles story is so fascinating because she is in this weird confluence of like getting blamed for shit that isn’t her fault while also doing some absolutely fucked up stuff herself. She’s not an easily definable character in the lore and she’s not “relatable” the way, say, Linda is relatable, so you sort of have to do some work to make sense of her. I think my main gripe with Yoko haters is they don’t give her the grace of trying to understand her the way they do for anyone else in the Beatles story.
